Has there ever been a worse attack line than criticising the PM for chairing a Cobra meeting.

This might be the most unhinged thing he’s ever tweeted, and that’s saying something. He’s flailing. Has no idea how to get out of this war cleanly.

I've been banging on about GAME, the film I wrote the screenplay for, and now you can pre-order the Blu-Ray and lovely, lovely merch. From @invadarecords.bsky.social

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

This is an extraordinary saga that Sunder is pursuing indefatigably. The BBC has repeatedly tried to excuse itself from responsibility for allowing Nigel Farage to lie egregiously about immigration without challenge. It is illustrative of a much wider malaise & so very important. Thank you, Sunder.

Poland is planning to jail all the elites in Epstein files. They have started a task force to analyse the Epstein files as they don't trust the way the Americans have handled them.

The fragile insecure flower is crying again.

The Golden Age rolls on.

Would this be the same Iran conflict Kemi Badenoch has just spent an entire week calling Keir Starmer a coward for not wanting to join?
